editing - new shots

The last shot that we put in was for Megan 'Giggle Girl' we found it quite difficult to actually shoot this part because it took quite a while to do so. The scene shows megan on her phone, and her 'mother' coming in and shouting at her, megan then starts 'giggling' which we have in the background noise, and then it shows the power the laugh has to the persons hearing. We were very happy with this shot too as we thought it was very funny and would be entertaining for the audience to watch.

In this shot we were showing the power for 'Fire Girl' as fire could normally connote to a dangerous way, we decided to keep it simple to show the power of fire. We used candles to do this, and we felt that with the clicking of fingers and the appearing of the flame, it was an interesting way that we conveyed the power of 'fire.' This is another shot that we were very happy with.

In this shot we show my power 'Air Girl' in which I am attempting to work, and then I use my 'power' to blow the papers off the table. This is another insight into the film as we are showing the powers of the girls. I was really pleased with this shot as I felt that it was really fun and unique. We cut the point where the papers blew off the table, and made it quicker to give if a better power effect.

In this shot, we see a a shot of a bath with no bubbles in, then we see a shot of Holly blowing bubbles, and bubbles then appear into the bath. From doing this, we give a small look into the powers that each fantastagirl has. We done this because it was felt by others that the powers were not clear to the audience, and we felt that we needed to include their powers in the title sequence in order for it to be more fun.

This is another new shot that we have put in, as the last one with the titles 'Megan Mead' had Megan in it but she was laughing and it made it seem unprofessional. Because of this, we used a simple but fun way in the entering of the titles, so it was still unique but not too complicated to do so. We are a lot happier with this as we think it looks fun and will be fun for our target audience.

Editing - new shots

This is one of the new shots that we have put into the title sequence, as the one before hand was very dark and there was no way that it could have been lightened without it looking unrealistic. We were a lot happier with this shot as it is a lot brighter, and you can actually see me in the shot this time.

Editing

After looking at all of these shots, I feel that they should be lighter and also, again, after speaking to our teacher we need to include more shots, to also show the power of the individual character as they are unclear within the sequence. We have decided that after every shot of someone putting on their top, we are going to show shots of each one doing their power. For example, after Bobbie puts on her shot, we will show a shot after this where she is doing something with fire, Holly with bubbles, Megan laughing, and myself with Air. I think that if we do this, it will not only make the title sequence longer, but it will also subtly show to the audience the powers that each girl has, as I have previously stated, this is unclear within it.

Editing

This is another shot that we need to film again, this is because it is not fluent enough and also after speaking to our teacher, it seems that Megan cannot take it seriously, where it was purposely intended for her to be laughing. Because of this reason, we are going to re shoot it, and Megan will just be writing her name, but because of her power of the 'Giggle' we are going to include shots of her laughing later on in the sequence instead of at this point.

Editing

In the title sequence, this shot shows Holly standing at the door for a second or so, this ruins the look as it makes it look unprofessional. We are still keeping this shot as we do not need to change it, having said this, we do need to update with the editing, and cut the ending of this shot, so we do not see Holly standing there for that extra second.

Editing

We are going to have to re shoot this shot because the lighting in the background will ruin the opportunity in changing the brightness. After speaking to our teacher I also agree that this shot is very dark, and it does not link in well with our target audience or the feel of the genre as we want it to be entertaining and fun.

Editing

This is one of the shots within the title sequence that we need to edit as it is too dark, we are firstly going to edit the brightness to see if this will make a difference. If we are unlucky and it doesn't make much of a difference, we are going to re shoot this part.

Editing process

There was a shot of myself 'air girl' that we were happy with the shot, but it was in reverse to the other girls close up shots. We had to change the way that the shot was played so it would match the other shots. Also, the shot of Holly, 'air girl' where she blows the bubble. We needed to include her name in the sequence, we found the typography and downloaded it on to final cut and then we added her name into it. But we wanted it to appear as if it came out when she was blowing the bubble, and then explode at the same time that the bubble popped. We found this quite difficult because we could not find out how to do so. There was an effect on final cut pro that allowed us to do this, and we were a lot happier with the way her name appeared. We still need to add in the rest of our clips into the sequence too.

I also think that we need to use more editing into the sequence to give the fantastagirls a more 'super hero' theme presented. On the close up shots of all of us, I think we should include an effect that can add to this; it will make us appear as superheroes more clearly to the audience. We are going to apply these changes to the title sequence tomorrow. 

Editing process

As we shot many clips yesterday (30/1/13) we had a lot of clips to choose from. Although it was a long process, it enabled us to choose from a larger variety of shots, giving the best available out come.

First edit of The Fantastagirls title sequence

Editing 29/1/13

We have started the editing of our new clips that we filmed yesterday. After looking over the shots that we filmed yesterday we are already a lot happier with the outcome of the our new ideas. We have edited the new clips and put them in order, also including the 'working title' introduction. We are having a problem with including the 'cross dissolve' as it is not working, but we are going to ask for it to be sorted out. We have all discussed the clips that we felt were better to use in the title sequence and we had our individual input of editing so far. We still need to do more filming, which we will then include into the rest.
